Tortuga Lodge is settled on 50 acres of private land on Costa Rica's Northeast Caribbean coast. The essence of Tortuguero is reflected on the hotel style. The Lodge's restaurant starts at the river dock and reluctantly moves inland. Delectable meals are created by our chef, Valentin, who specializes in local and international dishes. Designed to blend into the river environment, the pool features an environmentally-friendly purification system that uses an undetectable amount of salt instead of commercial chlorine. The all pervasive presence of the water at the lodge blurs distinctions. The hotel has also an energy conservation program that saves an average of 50% of the overall electrical energy consumption at the lodge. Its Botanical Gardens feature palms, orchids, and heliconias.
As your boat moves slowly through the forest, you are immersed in a world where the forest merges with the rivers and the water becomes part of the tree. Originally intended to protect a major nesting beach of the Atlantic green sea turtle, Tortuguero National Park now protects 51,870 acres, one of the last large areas of tropical rain forest in Central America.
